| Additional information |
Ferdinando di Borbone ruled Parma under close Habsburg supervision — his mother was Maria Amalia of Austria, and Vienna's influence over the duchy never fully loosened. These years of issue, 1790–1795, bracketed the execution of his Bourbon cousin Louis XVI and the collapse of the French monarchy, events that sent shockwaves through every minor Italian court. Ferdinando's own position grew increasingly precarious as French Revolutionary forces pushed into the peninsula.
The duchy was formally ceded to France by the Treaty of Aranjuez in 1801, making this issue one of the last autonomous Parmese coinages before Napoleonic reorganization erased the title entirely.
